oh yes i forgot to say i heard that talapia will die in december time frame and will float along the shoreline. i mentioned this solution to my wife last night and she did not want dead fish in december around the edges of the pond. that means i would have to clean them up with a net , then discard in the woods - ugh what a thought.
she is not so far willing to look at dad fish around the pond at that time of year. so maybe if she sees algae around the pond in the summer she will change her mind about tapalpia next year.
there is a fellow nearby in east texas that sells talapia who gave me this information. he is very knowledgeable about this subject and swears by talapia. it really sounds like the most eco friendly way to go. the other posts on this thread supports his thoughts on talapia.
